Lake Vermilion Campsites For Fishing Opener

[Fishinguy40]

I'm looking to come up to Vermilion for the fishing opener and would like to camp. There will be 3 or 4 guys. We will have a 14x16 wall tent with wood stove to keep us warm at night. Running water would be nice but not a necessity. Though a boat launch is necessary so we can get on the water and fish.

We would come up Friday afternoon and leave Sunday. Any suggestions? I would like to get our reservations made now to ensure we have a site. I did Google Vermilion camping but most seem to cater to RV's.

Hey fishingguy,

Probablly the best options for your group would be McKinley Park campground in Soudan, or Hoodoo Point in Tower.. they should be able to help you out and each has its own boat ramp. Close to some excellent spring walleye fishing as well!

You can camp at McKinley Park Campground in Soudan or the Hoodoo Point Campground in Tower. Both have running water and showers available.

If you wish to camp there call NOW, as they usually are full on the opener!

Other possible sites are:

Pike Bay Lodge

Fortune Bay Casino

Daisy Bay Resort

Glenmore Resort

If you are looking at the west end we have stayed at Wake Em Up Bay campgrounds. The only things is there is no showers.

Does the picnic area by Pederson's landing have camping pads that would accomodate fishinguy?

Thanks for the suggestions.

I did call and make reservations at McKinley Park. I pretty much have my choice of sites as she said they don't get much campers until school is out and they never fill up opener weekend. Kind of surprised me but the solitude will make it an even better trip!

You will have a great trip for sure.. and Sue and Jerry will take good care of you guys.. great people!

You won't have to go very far for your fish either. McKinley park is just outside the mouth of Pike bay. You can also often catch lots of Walleyes right off their docks in the spring time, especially in the evening and at night.
